1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:12.199
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your

2
00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:14.960
daily comedy news, A daily briefing on stand up comedy

3
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:17.879
comedians in the comedy industry. A sentence. The algorithm loves

4
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:21.480
Gabe A. Glacias needs more money. He has entered the

5
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:25.440
celebrity tequila game, and I thank him for that. Gabe,

6
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:27.879
with some of this money that you're making, you should

7
00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:30.800
pay your PR team, because they got it done. They

8
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:35.240
got Men's Journal to write the following. Comedian Gabriel Iglesias

9
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:37.960
just entered the celebrity tequila game, and it's no joke.

10
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:41.280
All right, that's cheesy enough, but then the messaging. After

11
00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:45.119
years of rejecting celebrity liquor deals, the fluffy comedian built

12
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:48.960
a tequila from scratch, one designed to be affordable, social,

13
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:52.840
and easy to find. We are told Gabriel Iglesias, one

14
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:55.520
of the most successful touring comedians in the country, didn't

15
00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:57.960
expect to get humbled by a blind taste test of

16
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:01.840
his favorite spirit tequila. That's right, the team behind his

17
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:05.680
new tequila brand, Pocho Fino, shut up with more than

18
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:09.719
three dozen bottles, including his usual poor patron and some

19
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:13.799
early Pocho Fino Prototypes and ran Gabriel Iglacias through a

20
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:17.599
Pepsi Challenge style lineup. Gabe said, I was so impressed.

21
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:19.840
The alcohol that I thought I was drinking wasn't what

22
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.120
I was drinking. It was actually Pocho Fino. Funny how

23
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:25.000
that worked out. They all made fun of me. Huh,

24
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:27.760
you thought you were good. My new favorite is Pocho

25
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:31.239
Fino now again, Gabe, please take care of your PR

26
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:35.040
team because they somehow got this printed. For Galacias. Tequila

27
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:38.040
isn't a celebrity access rate now, it's a social glue

28
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:40.040
in a way of connecting with the people who show

29
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:43.239
up for him night after night. Gabe says, I drink

30
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:45.400
every weekend. I'm a social drinker. I don't drink alone.

31
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:50.439
If I'm drinking, everybody's drinking. That accessibility, emotional, cultural, and

32
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:52.920
price point eighteen dollars for three hundred and seventy five

33
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:56.519
milli liters is the heart of his new brand, Pocho Fino,

34
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:58.680
and notice they keep getting the name in there. Good job.

35
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:02.719
PR team explains, I definitely do not ever drink before

36
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:04.719
the show, but toward the end, I'll ask the audience,

37
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:06.719
would you mind if I drink with you. That's part

38
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.599
of the show too. I'm sure when he says that,

39
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:11.520
heading forward, hey do you mind if I joke with you?

40
00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:14.039
I'm sure he'll get some product placement in. Even Jim

41
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:16.280
Gaffigan is like, Yo, come on, I don't care.

42
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:18.400
Yeah, I bought a house with that money, so I

43
00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:19.240
don't care what you say.

44
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.479
We are told Gabe's been approached for T Sequila collaborations

45
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.000
for years, but he always turned them down. He explains,

46
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:27.319
it didn't make sense to sell something I wasn't invested in.

47
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:30.280
I'm doing very well for myself. There was no need

48
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:33.000
to make it a money thing. But what changed was

49
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:36.240
a pitch that let Gabriel Iglacias build a tequila brand

50
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:39.159
from scratch. He sketched the label art on a napkin.

51
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:41.919
He came up with the name and insisted on being

52
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.639
looped into every email. He tells us the dogs on

53
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:47.840
the label are my dogs. It's an homage to them.

54
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:51.439
This is a serious passion thing. The name itself, Pocho,

55
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:54.439
flips a slur used for Mexican Americans. I'll take a

56
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:56.879
time out here. I've never heard that word before in

57
00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:59.680
my life, So if I have accidentally offended somebody in

58
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:03.439
the three minutes or so. I really really, really really

59
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:06.280
really don't mean anything. I'm just reading an article and

60
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:08.639
I'm clearly trying to have fun with it. I am

61
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:12.240
educating myself. I have googled the term, and I'm told

62
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:15.039
it's a pejorative slang term in Mexican Spanish that refers

63
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:18.400
to Americans of Mexican descent. I've never heard that term.

64
00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:21.560
Having grown up in New York City, Gabe explains, I

65
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:23.400
wasn't born in Mexico. I was born in the US.

66
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:25.599
This is a Mexican American tequila, not as straight at

67
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:29.719
Mexican brand. It's a hybrid at connection. It's my story. Anyway,

68
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:31.599
I come in peace. But back to making fun of

69
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:34.680
all this. The Blanco anchors the new line, Bonnallie wants

70
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:38.080
fans to actually drink, not admire on a shelf. Gabe says,

71
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:39.800
I don't want to be the masters of the food world.

72
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:41.840
I want to be the McDonald's. Taste good, you can

73
00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:44.800
afford it, you get a nice buzz. That's what I'm about. Oh,

74
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:47.759
there are more flavors. There's grilled pineapple. There's also Mexican candy,

75
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:51.000
which is watermelon line and Jalapanio flavored. Gabe said he

76
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:53.360
needed a little nudge with the Mexican candy name since

77
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:55.719
there are many types of Mexican candy, but the pineapple

78
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:57.800
concept was an easy yes. He said, I'm a big

79
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:01.080
fan of grilled pineapple period. It's good. Not something I

80
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.879
could do every weekend, but it's unique. As for the brand,

81
00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:07.879
You're definitely gonna see me backing it. No way, no way.

82
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:12.000
I'm gonna be putting this tequila everywhere. No way, no way.

83
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.800
Conan O'Brien did that big cover story with The Hollywood Reporter,

84
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:18.279
mostly about the Oscars, and Saturday's episode will be An

85
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:21.240
Oscar's preview where I'll pick away that. But in that

86
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:24.959
interview he talked about the future of late night and

87
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:27.480
an eye opener for Conan O'Brien is when he went

88
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:30.720
on Hot Ones with Sean Evans. The Conan episode got

89
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:33.600
fifteen million views, and Conan said, that was the moment

90
00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:35.399
when the scales fell from my eyes. If a guy

91
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:37.639
could do world series numbers with overhead that looked to

92
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:39.519
me to be about six hundred dollars, and you have

93
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:41.439
every big star lining up to do his show or

94
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:44.360
Chicken Shop date. That's when I profoundly understood that late

95
00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:47.279
night shows are in trouble. I'm of the mind that, yes,

96
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:49.519
these shows are going away and will become something else.

97
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:52.040
But I don't like when other malign forces intervene because

98
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:55.680
they're trying to curry favor. That ticks me off. Meanwhile,

99
00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:57.959
the late night shows continue. Seth Myers as one for

100
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:00.680
some reason, he had some comments about the President of

101
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.199
the United States. Seth Myers said, you can lie about

102
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:05.079
many things in American life, but one thing you can't

103
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:07.680
lie about is gas prices. You know why, because they're

104
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:10.040
on giant signs on the side of the road. Everyone

105
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:12.600
sees it, and honestly, we should do giant signs for

106
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:14.519
the rest of our politics. There should be huge signs

107
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:17.680
across the country that say felony accounts or number of

108
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:20.319
times the president has fallen asleep on live TV. Send

109
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:23.560
your letters to Seth Myers. Fox News caught my attention.

110
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:26.839
They had a headline comedian Andrew Schultz says Americans are

111
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:30.879
furious about potential ground war in Iran amid affordability crisis. Now,

112
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:33.319
if you're like John, who's Andrew Schultz again? I'll remind

113
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:35.480
you he's the bro podcaster that had Trump on his

114
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:38.120
podcast when Trump was running for reelection. Remember that Trump

115
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:40.920
was there. They had nice set couches, fake plants, whole thing.

116
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:44.160
Everybody got all excited about video podcasting. And then Johnny

117
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:45.959
Max screams into the windo, Okay, if you can book

118
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:48.920
Trump and have a twenty person crew, go ahead and

119
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:51.240
make a video podcast. Otherwise you're better off just talking

120
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:53.480
to microphone in the basement. The economics work a little better,

121
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:57.920
remember that, Yeah, that guy. Anyway, Fox pulled this clip

122
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:01.480
from the Flagrant podcast, and as you can hear, Andrew

123
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:05.680
has really really thought about his political positions. He clearly

124
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:09.040
spends a lot of time thinking about this stuff. He's

125
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:12.199
a deep thinker, and as you'll hear here, he's really

126
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:14.399
thought about it roun. I mean, he makes his point

127
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:17.519
so clear here. A Fox made some edits for language,

128
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:19.319
but here's Andrew Schultz.

129
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:21.600
Between this rock and hard places where they cannot give

130
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:25.000
us any reason why it benefits us without off China

131
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:28.240
or making that declaration. And then the only reason that

132
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:32.480
looks like we're in there is just because Israel needs it. Yeah, right,

133
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:36.680
And then naturally Americans are furious about it, right, because

134
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:39.079
we're like, how the benefit me? I can't afford to

135
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:41.319
pay for college, I can't buy a home, I can't

136
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:43.319
pay for health insurance, and we're gonna spend billions of

137
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:44.839
dollars in a war in a country.

138
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:45.800
I can't even point out at a map?

139
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:47.360
How is this beneficial to me?

140
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:50.199
Yeah, that's how they feel already.

141
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:51.319
Yeah, as they should.

142
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:53.680
Here's a fun fact that I can't believe is true,

143
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:56.920
and you can google this for yourself. On June twenty first,

144
00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:01.000
twenty twenty five, The New York Times had an article.

145
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:03.839
The headline of that article from June twenty first, twenty

146
00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:08.000
twenty five in The New York Times Andrew Schultz podcast,

147
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:13.079
bro might be America's foremost political journalist. I'm gonna say

148
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:17.839
that premise is wrong. Star trek Ruiner Patton Oswalt, you

149
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:20.759
know him as Doug la Vulcan. He was at the

150
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:24.839
seventy third Motion Picture Sound Editor's Golden Reel Awards. He

151
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:28.639
was commenting about Timothy Schale May's controversial remarks about ballet

152
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.680
and opera. You may have seen that mister Challo May

153
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:34.920
had suggested that no one cares about ballet nor opera

154
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:38.160
star trek Ruiner Patton Oswalt said, thank god we're here

155
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:40.839
to celebrate achievement in sound editing and not watching ballet

156
00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:43.439
or the opera. Thank god, we're actually watching something that

157
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:47.399
deserves to be alive. Unlike modern star Trek Oswalt said,

158
00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:49.519
it's great to be here at the woolshare Ebel Theatre

159
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:51.839
or any theater that Trump hasn't stuck his name on.

160
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:56.120
Fellow star trek Ruiner, Tignatoro talked about the fallout with

161
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:59.680
her former friend Cheryl Hines. Cheryl Hines is married to

162
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:02.800
Robert F. Kennedy Junior. Tig and Cheryl used to do

163
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:05.800
a podcast together, and Tig Nataro, star trek Ruiner and

164
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:08.639
a current contestant on Comedy Survivor, said I think I

165
00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:11.120
needed to stop doing the podcast because it was so ridiculous.

166
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:12.680
It was so stupid. It was hard to be doing

167
00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:14.839
that when he was gaining momentum and speaking. People will

168
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:16.959
interrupt my stand up shows and yell, Bobby is crazy.

169
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:18.879
And I was telling Cheryl, I know it's a small

170
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:21.120
percentage that pushes back on Lonnio's out of shows, but

171
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:22.879
I was like, man, this is not my world. I

172
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:24.319
don't want to be part of this, and she was like,

173
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:28.920
I understand. Cheryl Hines continued the podcast with comedian Rachel Harris.

174
00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:32.120
Star Trek runer Tignataro said, but what was most upsetting

175
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:34.240
to me was that we were in such opposing places.

176
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:35.759
But I continue to reach out to her and sent

177
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:37.639
her love and support because I didn't know what was

178
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:40.720
going on behind closed doors because things shifted very severely,

179
00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:43.399
and she would respond very pleasantly, thanks lady, Oh this

180
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:44.759
means so much, and I love you and miss you

181
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:46.559
and all that. But then I realized one day she

182
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:50.039
doesn't ever reach out to me anymore. Maybe Cheryl Hines

183
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:52.279
is a Star Trek fan. Does that ever occurred to you?

184
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:55.799
Star Trek Runer Tignatario added, she responds to me, but

185
00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:57.519
she doesn't reach out to me, and I had to

186
00:08:57.559 --> 00:08:59.440
kind of shake myself out of denial that she's gone,

187
00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:01.200
and Okay, need to let this go. I need to

188
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:03.559
let it go, which is how I have come to

189
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:06.360
feel about Star Trek. You guys have made Star Trek

190
00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:09.480
so terrible. I don't even hate watch. I've gone from

191
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:12.080
watching to hate watching to you know, I can't even

192
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:15.759
be bothered tig Nataro, Paton Oswald, Stephen Colbert, don't think

193
00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:18.080
I forgot you. He's the voice of the computer at

194
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.320
Starfleet Academy. He deserves to lose his late night show

195
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:24.000
over that alone. The President and Hi are aligned. Startrek

196
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:25.919
grew in her. Tig Natara said, there's been some interviews

197
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:27.960
claiming that I just dumped her and I just left

198
00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:29.360
her in the dust because of Bobby. But I was

199
00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:31.159
trying to be a friend to her, even though I

200
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:33.080
didn't feel like I continue with the podcast, but it's

201
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:35.320
been very strange, and I think I've moved past the

202
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:38.759
confusion and sadness. Meanwhile, Chelsea Handler, who used to date

203
00:09:38.840 --> 00:09:40.799
Joe Koy but we're not going to get into that today,

204
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:44.759
has railed against Robert F. Kennedy Junior and wife Cheryl

205
00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:49.240
Hines for allegedly selling her a quote disaster. Chelsea Handler

206
00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:52.279
was on her podcast deor Chelsea. She claims she was

207
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:56.360
unaware that the Brentwood, California home she was buying was

208
00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:58.799
owned by Kennedy and Hines, explaining the deal was carried

209
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:02.919
out via two trusts of theirs and hers. Chelsea Handler

210
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:05.600
alleges that the Kennedy is left behind a home that

211
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:09.879
was in an unlivable condition, claiming it quote didn't even

212
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:13.200
have a proper foundation. When Chelsea took it over, Chelsea said,

213
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:15.039
I still have not lived in this house. That's how

214
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:17.399
fed up this house was the idea that this guy

215
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:18.919
is in charge of the health of our country when

216
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:21.000
he didn't even have a proper foundation at his house.

217
00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:24.279
Chelsea says a home inspector told her that the property

218
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:27.799
had quote the most toxic environment. When they opened up

219
00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:29.480
the house, they were like, this house is the most

220
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:32.360
toxic environment. You cannot live here for at least two years.

221
00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:36.000
Chelsea said she did have the property inspected before purchasing it,

222
00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:38.360
but there were several issues that went undiscovered, like the

223
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:41.000
illegal storage unit that was built on the grounds of

224
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:43.559
the dwelling. Chelsea said, so now we have to remove

225
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:46.720
his illegal bs from my property. And I'm like, did

226
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:49.639
they not find this upon the first inspection? And then

227
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:53.440
she says she found a note from Cheryl Hines. Chelsea

228
00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:55.840
Handler explains they had the audacity to leave me a note.

229
00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:57.919
Cheryl Hines left me note saying let us know if

230
00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:00.440
there's anything we do for you. Chelsea, I'm like, yeah,

231
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.000
how about an effing foundation. That's something you can do

232
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:05.519
for me, Chelsea says. Anyway, I'm not angry about it

233
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:09.440
or anything. I'm totally over it, clearly. Boy, Johnny Mack

234
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:11.960
enjoyed hosting that first half. I thought it was a

235
00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:14.879
little light today. Sometimes when I put together the show,

236
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:17.279
it is a little light. And then I went into

237
00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:20.759
bing and sometimes on bing dot com, if I search

238
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:22.960
for comedians, I'll find a couple stories, and I found

239
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:25.159
that Chelsea Handler one, which went perfectly up against the

240
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:27.320
star trek Ruiner Paton Oswald one. It is a good

241
00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:31.159
day putting together the show. Speaking of Tignazarro, she's somebody

242
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:34.080
who could potentially vote off Comedy Island. Well, how would

243
00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:35.679
I do that, John, Well, here's what you do. You

244
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:38.600
go to the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast Group.

245
00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:41.080
In that group, you will find a cartoon image of

246
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:45.679
me and Bert Krascher. In that thread, we're playing Comedy Survivor.

247
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:49.279
Every week we vote one comedian off the island. And boy,

248
00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:53.519
last time I checked, the Facebook group was very very active,

249
00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:57.039
lots of voting, lots of discussion. Still in the game.

250
00:11:57.159 --> 00:12:00.600
Nikki Glazer, John mulaniy Osco at CONSCA Sebastian A. Scalco,

251
00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:05.519
Tignaturo Silverman, and Leslie Jones. I don't want to steer

252
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:08.399
this thing. Go to the Facebook Daily Comedy News podcast

253
00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:12.399
group and vote for whoever you want to. Maximini told

254
00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:16.120
Fox News he's working on a new television style podcast

255
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:19.039
featuring a live audience. That's not a podcast, that's a

256
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:23.159
TV show. My friend, this is a podcast anyway, Max mean,

257
00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:25.600
he said, I want to become extremely more consistent on

258
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:28.159
my podcast. I'm creating a TV show style podcast with

259
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:30.840
a live audience, and so that's my next immediate project.

260
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:32.919
When I get back to LA, I'm starting the production.

261
00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:35.159
I'm also working on a comedy series. I'm really excited

262
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:37.440
because I'm creating some characters that have been on my mind,

263
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:39.399
I want to say, for maybe fifteen years, but the

264
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:42.039
opportunity is now becoming possible for me to do it.

265
00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:46.039
Good news if you like Saturday Night Live, because snl

266
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:49.720
UK will air in the United States. Snl UK kicks

267
00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:53.039
off March twenty. First episodes will be available on Peacock

268
00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:55.879
the following day, because yeah, I wouldn't watch it on

269
00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:59.080
Saturday anyway. Season one is only six episodes, so don't

270
00:12:59.080 --> 00:13:02.279
get too attached to it, and Joe Rogan has made

271
00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:05.639
some people sad. You see on Saturday night it was

272
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:08.480
UFC three twenty six and the main event was capped

273
00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:11.320
off by what's being described as an underwhelming one sided

274
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:16.080
decision victory by Charles Oliviera, who defeated champion Max Holloway

275
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:19.759
in five rounds. Apparently UFC officionados did not enjoy Oliviera's

276
00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:23.240
a fighting style. Joe Rogan was on the broadcast, said,

277
00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:26.360
listen to these casuals booing, how do you not appreciate

278
00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:30.200
this complete domination by a master. Some social media fans

279
00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:32.840
did not like mister Rogan's commentary. One wrote to Rogan

280
00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:36.879
calling fans casuals for booing that snooze fest is peak gatekeeping.

281
00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:40.480
BMF title fights should be absolute wars with finishes, not

282
00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:43.720
fifteen minutes of Oliviera laying on Holloway. We want violence

283
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:46.759
and entertainment, not a grappling clinic. Crowd knows better than

284
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:49.879
the booths sometimes, Joe. At one point, with thirty seconds

285
00:13:49.879 --> 00:13:51.799
to go in the fun round, Joe Rogan said, this

286
00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:55.120
is the clearest cut, unanimous decision we've ever seen in

287
00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:58.919
a sport UFC three twenty six and that is your

288
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:01.440
comedy news for today. Strangely fun, I had a good

289
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:04.240
time hosting it. Go vote in Comedy Survivor Facebook group,

290
00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:06.240
Daily Comedy News podcast group. See tomorrow.
